Stanford University calculated the amount of energy used to create every solar panel ever made and the amount of energy produced by all of those solar panels. We might reach the break even point by 2018.
More importantly, California is in a drought. Studies have shown that California has had drought of up to 240 years long in the past. Where is all the water going to come from to keep all these solar panels clean so that they produce electricity?

Hey Tim. It's a natural cycle. It last about 65-70 years.
The rate of warming between the recent cycle and the last one was identical.
The 50s, 60s and 70s were cooler than the 80s, 90s and 2000s.

So we are heading into the cooling half of the cycle once again.
Weather was more severe and more extreme in the COOLER 50s-70s than it was during the warmer 80s-2000s.
Since the mid 70s the number of...
